The Physical Particle
In nature, in extremely dense regions such as the center of a star, subatomic particles form due to electromagnetic noise being so high that it congests into “traffic jams” that don’t go away. A sub-atomic particle is simply a traffic jam of perpetual EMR noise. The noise didn’t think to itself, “We need to form a particle”. Each tiny bit of noise was independently and simply trying to go its way. The particle formed because noise slows other noises in the same way that cars on a highway can slow other cars into a “slowdown” or even “traffic jam”. And at a certain critical density, the traffic jam simply won’t go away because for every bit of noise or car that leaves another is already arriving.
And what is called the “potential” or “charge” of the particle is determined by whether most of the noise was of increasing potential or of decreasing potential (commonly known as “electric potential”). If there is the same amount of increasing as decreasing noise potential, the formed particle is neutral (a neutrino or neutron). If most of the noise was increasing, the particle is called “a positive charged particle” (a positron or proton). And if most was decreasing, the particle is called “a negative particle” (electron or anti-proton).
Each particle type can only exist in an ambient field of its relative opposite; a positive particle can exist only in a relative negative field and a negative particle can only exist in a relative positive field. And that is how you get the notion of the familiar Yin-Yang symbol, although it doesn’t reveal the common neutral particle that can exist in a neutral ambient field.
But don’t be mislead by the tempting and common notion that these particles are “Equal and Opposite”. They most certainly are not. Even though they are opposite in potential and have many similarities, the end result of being negative in a relative positive environment is significantly different than being positive in a relative negative environment. And that is why they find that the common negative particle, an electron, is much smaller than the most common positive particle, a proton. A positive particle tends to acquire more mass (amount of noise) than a negative particle. The traditional Yin-Yang symbol is misleading. Let me explain the significance of that issue as it relates to people.
Enough of the physics.
The Communal Particle
Similarly if 1000 people were to be placed out in a wilderness with no means to be anywhere else, a “Communal Particle” would automatically form. Again, it need not be that anyone thought, “we need to form a community”. Each person need merely to try to live. The interaction of such people forms a community without anyone deciding to form it. It is a natural occurrence that is in fact difficult to avoid.
As the community begins to form, there is almost never anyone saying, “Okay Mr Jones, you be the farmer. And Jacob, you be the carpenter. And Goldstein, you be the banker…”. Instead, the people simply do what is more natural for them to do at that time, in that circumstance, and with their experience. The interaction of what is simply their effort to live and go their own way becomes a stable community, without intent to form it. And through time, even though the people come and go, the community will generally continue (assuming it was stable). Such is a natural occurrence, not in need of design or intent (assuming there were enough people with the right talents = “dense region”).
And as the communal particle forms, it will most naturally have both “positive affects” and “negative affects”, “cooperative people” and “uncooperative people”, or perhaps “constructive people” and “destructive people”. And what determines the “potential” of the community is the balance of how much positive-noise to negative-noise happens to be there as the community forms, how many constructive people vs destructive, or cooperative people vs antagonistic people. If the number of positive people and negative people are the same, the community will be a neutral community having both within. Of course people are not really entirely positive or entirely negative, just as EMR noise isn’t, but if gauged by their average, each person will register as more of one than the other in that environment.
But note that a charged particle can only exist within an ambient field of its relative opposite. For a “positive community” to be stable, it must be within a region of negative (destructive or uncooperative) influences. Perhaps those influences are merely the natural weather or soil conditions of the region. Perhaps there are a great many random trouble makers. But there must be a negative influence, else the positive community will simply dissipate. In society, as with a mind, this is seen as “the goal to achieve” or “the purpose of the gathering”. If the goal or purpose is already achieve and no longer has anything destroying it, the society cannot be maintained. Once the emperor conquers all of the lands in sight, the empire falls because they were only being held together for the purpose of conquering.
A community forms naturally by people merely trying to live. But a kingdom or empire forms by specific people artificially trying to form it, people using people only for the purpose of forming a gathering (a communal particle) which they can be reign over. That one aspect of human behavior is what sets it apart of other animals of nature. It causes great conquest, but also leads to eventual failure soon after the conquest or purpose is achieved. A kingdom or empire is not a stable communal particle except while it is growing or fighting a war (the required negative influence).
Note that the positive or negative nature of the community is not specifically chosen, but rather the natural consequences of the nature of the people involved. The attempt to demand that the community be specifically positive or negative in any regard after a gathering has already accumulated would be a tremendous struggle against nature and reality. To intentionally choose what is to be considered positive or negative is tampering with the forces of life itself. If a governance attempts to demand obedience to an architecture or even subtly trick people into unwitting obedience, it is challenging natural physics and will have a great endless struggle on its hands which will eventually lead to great success and certain imminent failure.
An artificial society; kingdom, empire, socialistic, unrestricted capitalistic, or communistic can be formed and do quite well… until it runs out of enemies. And then it requires artificial adversaries; created terrorists, false flag attacks, criminal or antithesis organizations. A natural society; tribal, township, or restricted capitalistic can remain stable simply because it never runs out of natural adversaries.
Every stable particle, whether a simple physical sub-atomic particle, a particle of the mind, or a communal particle can only be stable within an ambient field of its antithesis. When that field becomes too positive favoring the communal structure, a catastrophic failure of the community or society cannot be avoided. And what is declared positive or negative is not a choice, but decided by the ambient.
The fact that a community cannot stably choose its positive nature, is why religions, such as Christianity, attempt to “spread the word” concerning the benefits of being harmonious. By creating an ambient field of cooperative people, a positive, constructive society can form. But if whatever has been dubbed “negative” is not the true exact opposite of Life itself, Life will not be the positive nature of the gathering. Life will be lost by the sacrifices from an attempt at artificial structure and conquest. In the fall of an artificial community, artificiality is lost rather than as the Life it tried to control.
Life and physical nature are workable, programmable, and tolerant, but they cannot be entirely controlled without being entirely lost. And they don’t lose easily. My suggestion is to stop trying to create artificial communities unless they are the very definition of what Life is so that the only required and supporting antithesis will be natural physical anti-life and thus have no need for artificial, very expensive, and inherently catastrophic controls attempting to keep it together.
Life is a very specific, although difficult to discern, architecture in nature. It requires neither artificial adversary, Man, artificial incentives, nor machine. When a society is forced to focus too much on artificial adversaries, the structure of Man, artificial incentives, or utilization of machines, it is facing immanent catastrophic failure from which it cannot change its own nature and thus once close to conquest, cannot change its course into oblivion.
In all societies, a tipping point is reached where there is no longer a choice, whether the society has artificial support or just happens to have chosen the wrong thing to call “Positive”.
And by the way, a digital world is entirely artificial and far from the definition of Life.
